Hi, Have you recently upgraded your MySQL installation? 1064 in earlier days used to mean use of reserved word. Few clients have reported this error in last couple of months after they upgraded from 5.1.41 to higher versions. As of now, I don't have a solution other than changing the name (of database in your case).
Hope that helps.
